When I was young,   and unbroken,   I tried so hard to get under my mama's skin,   and so it begins.   I braced myself,   embraced myself,   misplaced myself,   and all with a shit eating grin,   and the prick of a pin.      It's a killer life,   It's a killer life,   It's a killer life,   Now on with the show!      I built this house with walls of flesh   and broken bones   and skins   and I must confess,   That I'm a sweet mess.   I changed my guard,   with no regard   I'm not un-scarred so far,   but I'm a success,   of bitter sweetness!      It's a killer life,   It's a killer life,   It's a killer life,   Now on with the show!
